WSET Level 1 Award in Wines

SUNDAY COURSE - The Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) Level 1 Award in Wine (formerly known as the Foundation Certificate) is an ideal introduction to wine.

This wonderful course takes place in a central Cambridge hotel and lays the foundation for understanding wine, giving you confidence for food and wine pairing and an introduction to different styles of wine.

The course is designed for people who prefer to learn in a fun, but structured and concentrated way, finishing with a short multiple choice exam.

Level 1 is very suitable for:

those interested in learning the basics out of personal interest
AND

anyone considering embarking on a professional career in the drinks industry.

You do not need any previous experience in wine tasting. The course is completed in a single day (including the multiple choice exam) making it easy to fit in with busy schedules.

WSET Level 1 Award in Wines has full accreditation from OfQual as a Level 1 Vocational Qualification.
